  • Happy 3rd Birthday PadraigFahy.com

    August 25th 2009 was the day that I purchased PadraigFahy.com from GoDaddy.com and  I have loved every minute of it.

    It all started back in 2008 when I setup the wordpress.COM site http://padraigfahy.wordpress.com and then a year later, I bought the PadraigFahy.com and decided that I want to host it on my own and for the most part, that’s what I was doing.

    And then in late 2010, I moved the domain over to Tumblr, where until earlier this month, my blog has been hosted (You can still get to the blog by going to blog.padraigfahy.com )

    😀

    EDIT: Fixed the link to the blog!

  • Oh WordPress…

    I have been having a major problem with WordPress ever since I installed it. I couldn’t upload pictures.

    So I checked the file permissions and googled on how to fix it. Re-installed WP and tried again but not cigar.

    So then, I decided to install WordPress from the Blacknight panel and out of nowhere…it seems to work.

    I cannot put my finger on what actually caused the problem. I am still trying to figure it out. :/

    Anyway, the site is working as normal now with everything configured again. Wasn’t too hard to set up the second time 😀

    So, my question to you lot is…What next?

  • Seems that ArenaNet has changed the name of Guild Wars 2 to….

    So, while the servers have been having login issues, ArenaNet has decided to changed the name of Guild Wars to…

    The new name for the game

  • My New Minecraft Skin – Lightning Farron

    Today, I decided to change up my Minecraft skin a bit. From the moment I played Minecraft, I have looked like Yusei Fudo from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s anime.

    Today, my character, had a sex change and became Lightning Farron from Final Fantasy XIII (and FFXIII-2)

    Sorry for blurry thumbnail, still getting used to WP. Give me time to get things sorted out 🙂

  • Yay! Guild Wars 2 Headstart is on. Let’s pla…Oh….OK…..

    Oh, I see how it is!
    Oh, I see how it is!

    Granted, I have been able to play the game already. I am a currently (at time of posting this) a Level 6 Asura Elementalist on the Desolation EU server named “Crakila”.

    /w me in game 😀

    (While I wait for the login servers to fix themselves, I shall fix the permission/upload problem here)

  • PadraigFahy.com 0.01β

    I decided to work on the site a wee bit, mostly back end changes. Here we go

    • Added CloudFlare
    • Added Disqus commenting system
    • Added Social Sharing Links (Don’t worry, they are not intrusive at all)
    • Added Contact Form (Click “Contact Me” at the top of the page)
    • Changed the “Twenty-Eleven” theme to the Dark variant.
    • Removed Header Picture(s)
    • Added Akismet (I know it’s pointless when I have Disqus, but I have it there anyway…Does no harm)
    • EDIT: Added the “P” favicon. 😀

    And that is pretty much it.

    My “plan” for the design was to put a Twitter, Google+, Tumblr button where the search box is (Top-Right) corner of the page. If you are a web dev and you would like to tell me how this can be done easily, you may leave a comment below 🙂

    Before I sign off, I would like to address something. I will NEVER put ads on this site..Why? Because A) They are intrusive, B) I gain nothing from them.

    I also won’t be putting big pop-ups/pop-unders to other sites…That is just being a dick and kinda ruins the blog.

    Now that I have the Social Plugin in, I will NOT be telling you to follow my Twitter, nor subscribe to the RSS. The buttons are there if you want to use it. There is zero obligation in using them.

    Hope you all have a nice Sunday/Monday 🙂
